Working with Ms. Siddhi was a turning point for me. Her calm, compassionate presence helped me feel safe to open up and explore my emotions. She guided me with empathy and insight, and I always left our sessions feeling heard, more grounded and clear. I'm deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her.

I came to seek help and had multiple sessions with Siddhi. She asks the right questions to prompt reflection in a gentle manner, and remembers what you told her, even if it might be said in passing many sessions ago. I feel lighter and more clear headed as sessions pass and I can't help but be extremely grateful to have her walk me through the journey. 10/10 would recommend

Shi Qing is the appointed counselor for me (Yash). I've worked with a few therapist before but she was one that I completely aligned with. She's a very knowledgeable person because she knows what she's talking about. She listens very patiently to my problems. Not only that she helped me learned a lot about myself and how to process the emotions I'm going through. I usually feel anxious to meet any new therapist before any session but during the first session itself she made me feel at ease. I never felt like I was judged. I've always felt validated and when I'm done with the therapy session I've always felt better and had an insight of what I could do better for myself in any given situation. Throughout these session I felt growth and I definitely could have never survived my tough times without her guidance and session. As a psychology student I learned more about counseling and other forms of therapy and practices with her. Overall she's one of a kind and definitely someone amazing to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and it was my pleasure to work with her as long as I have.

Been having sessions with Shi Qing for the past few months and she has been incredibly helpful on my journey of healing and self-discovery. Empathetic and patient, her insights and guidance allowed me to learn so much about myself. Life changing experience and I cannot thank Shi Qing enough for that.

Thank you to the organisation for picking up my name. Sarika was the one who first sent me an email. So thank you Sarika.

Melissa Teh, where do I begin..... I knew you were a perfect fit for me the minute I saw your face on the screen.
My first session was important to me, I was reeling in pain and anger with trust issues.
You were amazing Melissa. You listened without any interruptions till I went on and on about my concerns.
After that you said something very pertinent, you said we don't know what's going in his mind and you encouraged me to think of happy thoughts and move away from trying to overthink on what all he must be doing miles away.
I followed. I listened to you. I love it and thank God it works for me.
We had 10 amazing sessions every Monday 8pm so much so today is Monday and I have to keep telling myself I don't need to allocate 8pm for our session.
Melissa, you have also helped me walk through another relationship and this one is ongoing.
Melissa you always remain me of a 'you can count on me' energy.
Thank you so very much Melissa.
I wish you a wonderful career and in everything you do.

We are grateful for the invaluable support provided by Ms. Mhairi from 'Insightful Counselling & Training Pte. Ltd,' who is currently conducting counselling sessions for our students. Ms. Mhairi is an exceptionally thoughtful counsellor, meticulously planning each session to engage students in a meaningful and effective manner. Her dedication and expertise are making a significant positive impact on our students' well-being. We deeply appreciate the organisation for cultivating such skilled and compassionate counsellors.

I am new to counselling, but the Insightful team's friendly and approachable service made the entire process smooth and not at all as intimidating as I imagined. I have opted for an intern counsellor, and Shrutika makes the sessions feel warm and comfortable each time. It truly feels like a safe space for me to speak freely. She is detailed and empathetic, plus transparent with the methods we are using where she'll provide educational reasoning behind certain approaches which I highly appreciate 🙂 I've seen immense changes for myself since starting and I owe it to her support and guidance along the way. Will highly recommend Insightful and sessions with Shrutika if you're looking for counselling services in Singapore!

In my honest opinion, I believe everyone should have a sit-down with a counselor like Melissa to help them through their days and healing. Melissa has truly helped me improve my negative thoughts and shift my mindset to a more positive outlook. I am truly grateful for my sessions with her and had a great experience. 

I would highly recommend Melissa as a therapist . Throughout my sessions, she demonstrated incredible patience and truly listened to everything I had to say. Her empathetic approach and genuine concern made me feel heard and understood in ways I had never experienced before. I have noticed profound changes in how I set boundaries, relate to others, and perceive myself. Her support has been pivotal in my self discovery journey. I am immensely grateful for the positive changes she has helped me achieve. If you are seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist, look no further!

I have had the privilege of doing my sessions with my therapist Manali. She was very attentive to my sharing, catching the nuances that shaped the way I think. Her perceptive observations and suggestions are what I needed to make sense of my deep inner workings. I went to her to overcome certain obstructions in personal growth and decision making, and I would say in the handful of sessions I've had, I could gain a significant clarity on who I am and what the underlying issues are. Manali is a guiding light of a honest and purposeful heart and I would recommend anyone who is looking for a therapist to give her a try.

It was very good experience with Manali I had very great time with her.

I am highly recomeded Manali Pattnaik and this is my honest feedback:

We been contacting since Nov 2023. It was really great experience and I appreciate her effort helping me to overcome my anxiety. My anxiety becoming less and less from scale of 8 now to scale of 2. It was so amazing. I can drive and go out become myself even not 100%. The best part is, I could share the knowledge from her to my friends and who need it. I have no words to say and thanks to Insightful Counselling for this program. Thank you Manali Pattnaik for your advise and your skill. Also you never gave up on me to tell me its just my shadow 🙂

I had my sessions with Adrian when I first had trouble with myself and my relationship. He made me understand myself better and really opened up my eyes to ways I could make things better for myself. He was always patient and spoke in such a soft tone which made our sessions feel so calm. I highly recommend giving Insightful Counselling a shot if you're looking for help.

Manali ma'am helped me a lot throughout... listening to me very patiently and understanding my pov.. giving me confidence and strength to deal things in a very smart way..thank you for helping me through ma'am

I love the fact that Manali listens actively rather than giving advice during our sessions. Her sense of empathy and understanding is a thumbs up. I also like the fact that she is not judgmental during our sessions. I wish for Manali all the best in her future endeavours.

Personally, Manali was really an amazing therapist for me as she was able to understand my thoughts and open my mind to different perspectives, which brought a sense of peace for me. An empathetic yet straightforward therapist that was lovely throughout my journey 🙂

I had the pleasure to work with Ms Manali Pattnaik for therapy. Ms Manali's ability to listen attentively and empathize with my emotions created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt free to explore my thoughts and feelings without reservation. She also provided me with very targeted and specific methods to navigate my emotions based on my experiences and what I was comfortable with doing. I am truly grateful for the positive impact Ms Manali has had on my life!

Had the privilege of working with Adrian as my assigned counselor. With his extensive knowledge and experience, he has helped me so much through my personal issues. Very professional yet warm and easy to talk to. Thank you, Adrian!

I have done my counselling sessions with Manali Pattnaik and it's something I would cherish and remember. She's always on time and always present during the session. The sessions have greatly helped me to see through within me. It guided me greatly with my personal learning and healing journey.

I was referred to online sessions with Adrian by a friend, and in just a few sessions he was able to really help with concerns I had about myself. It was amazing working with him, and he was friendly, open and easy to talk to, which was very important for me. I've seen real improvements in my life working with him and it's helped a lot 🙂

Sonal has really helped me overcome 80% of my anxiety in less than 2 months simply by speaking to me and diving deep into smaller aspects of my life. The best thing about my sessions are that my feelings and thoughts are quantified and with each session, we measure an improvement. In addition to the above, a lot of emotional instances I’m feeling are backed up with theoretical knowledge and examples which I normally remember while making a lot of decisions in life. Overall, very happy with the help - a lot of time and energy is taken out which is commendable!

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I've received from Manali. Her expertise and compassionate approach have made a significant positive impact on my life. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and effective therapist. Thank you, Manali, for helping me navigate through challenging times with understanding and skill. I have learned a lot throughout my journey with her. I have been to therapy throughout the years but none has impacted as much Manali has ❤️

Honest, clear, accurate ‘diagnosis’ of my feelings and emotions. Helps me to understand my feelings and my trigger points. Guides me on how to regulate them. Gives me an outlet to vent. My panic attacks have reduced and my mental health seems to be getting better.

I like that they are flexible and up to me how often I need them. Nisha has helped me to see a different perspective and be more positive in my lookout of myself. I’m satisfied with her care.

Listens very well, breaks down my problem faced in terms which helps me to better understand myself and what I am facing with. Gives me new perspectives in what I am facing instead of seeing it in a narrow point of view. I better understand what I’m dealing with, where I can focus my attention onto to make things work in my relationship. She’s a great listener, takes her time to understand what her client is facing and from there, slowly breaks it down for the client to understand what she has inferred from the session. Very beneficial and helpful, also willing to accompany for weekend sessions which is great for working adults.

She’s been very understanding just gives advice about all areas of life and the sessions just calm me down in general, also flexible about the timings! A place where I can openly just say what’s on my mind.

Manage to practice some techniques when having episodes. The approach of the therapist in charge.

This is my first time chance upon attending a 1-1 counselling session. I told myself to attend with an open mind. For me, my weakness lies in procrastination and I “feel” too long to get things done. Through Celine’s counselling and her sharing of thoughts by hearing me, understanding me, understand situations from another angle, I do have improvements in my line of work. Thank you Celine for your time, patience, guidance and a helping heart, improving people’s life.

I have had the pleasure of counseling with Tan, a student of the school at insightful counseling. Though a counsellor in training, Tan is attentive to my needs and is genuinely interested in hearing about my story in order to better understand my issues and how he can put his best foot forward to help me work towards my (counseling) goals about. what I like about our counseling sessions is that while Tan is a good listener , he is not afraid to delve deep and challenge my perspective( in a positive way) to see my issues on a different light. I would highly recommend Tan for your counseling needs as, in my humble opinion, he has the maturity and aptitude beyond what I expect a counsellor in-training to have.

Lily is an insightful and patient counsellor. Patient enough to listen to my troubles and not judge. Counselling by and large is not instantaneous, it really helps when professionals have the will to tough it out, and intervene at the right time.

I needed an outlet and someone who understands and does not judge me
Piriya mam has helped a lot.
She sees things from my side and helps aot and always adjusts timings and schedules and does not get irritated by my last minute plans
I am always eager to meet her as i am able to let out my feelings and cr freely
She is an amazing person

First of all, I want to thanks Insightful because give me this opportunity to get to know you as a counselling centre.

To my counsellor Eve Martin, no words can describe how grateful I am to meet people like you. You not only helping me in our session but also keep in touch with me when I need your guidance.

For now I already go thru 8 session with you. What I can say for this 8 session my scale of anger decrease day by day, now I already have a good relationship with my mom as I told you in our first session I don't have a good relationship with my mom but with your guidance for the first time for this year Hari Raya celebration I'm brave enough to hug and say I love you to my mom which I never expect I can do that action since I feel unsafe when I arrived at my hometown which is Sabah.

For now, I also feel excited with my work environment since I can handle the responses that I received from my friends. Less stress I think 🤣😜 you know how struggle I am with my workplace before this but after go thru the session and discuss with you to identify what wrong with my workplace now I'm proud to announce that I feel so happy and excited with my environment.

One thing that I never want to forget about our session when we discuss about the rollercoaster mood 😂 I will remember this for entire my life for sure.

Can't wait to continue our next session 😍♥️

I wish you all the best for your study and your career. Please pray for me too, I hope my dream to be a counsellor will be accomplished one day 😍

I enjoyed every session with Shantha.

The fact that she always created a nonjudgemental space made me feel heard and safe to express how I felt. She is a very patient good listener.

I am happy that she shared several techniques I could try to apply in my daily life to cope with my anxiety. She also took the initiative to talk about things when my mind when blank and I didn't even know how I felt and what to share. She respected the boundaries when I didn't think I was able to talk about issue in my past life that I was not comfortable to talk about yet.

Shantha's counselling sessions have been immensely beneficial and insightful for me. Her attentive listening, skill in creating a comfortable atmosphere, and thought-provoking approach have made a positive impact on my self-discovery and personal growth. 

She is a patient counsellor who takes time to listen to her client's needs and also provides insightful perspectives and solutions to their circumstances.

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I've received from Shantha. She creates a warm and welcoming environment where I feel safe to express myself. Her expertise and compassionate nature have been instrumental in my healing process. Highly recommended!
